The Book Report Podcast #128: Near a Sandwich

Lots of Avengers books are great, we learn to accept Superior Spidey, and we cuss a lot! What's not to like?

Ladies! Germs! Blokes! Worms! We here at Crave Online have got another comic book podcast for yo' nistnin' peasure! It's the 128th installment of The Book Report, featuring Andy Hunsaker and the Ass in the Hole, Iann Robinson.

This week, after following up on a fan's recommendation that we dedicate the show to professional wrestling, we dedicate about five minutes to it. Then we kvetch about the strip-mining of Star Wars, we opine on the Marvel movie rumors, and yuk it up about the House of Ideas getting the idea for romance novels, not to mention a little back and forth about the concept of digital comics. But fear not, we actually do discuss the funnybooks, and in addition to getting Iann to turn around on Superior Spider-Man, it's an Avengers-heavy show – Avengers, New Avengers, Secret Avengers, Avengers Assemble Annual, Hawkeye, Fearless Defenders, Iron Man, Winter Soldier, … and of course, some Green Lantern, Swamp Thing, Animal Man, Transformers, Green Arrow, Young Romance and even some Daredevil: End of Days. Also, you should read Nowhere Men. That's compelling stuff.
